I’m beginning my journey in real estate development.

In transitional markets like the Wake/Harnett border, location and long-term growth matter more than current school ratings or rural feel proximity to development can drive appreciation over time.

It barely justifies obtaining the work, managing the tasks, billing the customers (he does terrible billing for the work which also does not help with paying the handymen - he has a customer he has been working for since August that he has not yet billed (this is not fair for anyone)), and scheduling the handymen.   

In my experience, the tasks that eat the most time are not the “big” decisions.

Interesting, idk how they develop and build that but definitely worth looking into

Hey Jamison, if it were me right now I’d lean toward a cash-flowing property in a market that produces strong monthly income, especially if you’re looking for stability and steady returns early on, because cash flow gives you flexibility and a buffer while you build your portfolio; a market like Columbus, Ohio is a perfect example—since I moved from Portland, Oregon in 2020 and now own 10+ rentals here, I’ve seen firsthand how you can still find properties in the $120K–180K range that hit the 1% rule, cash flow from day one, and still have amazing appreciation potential thanks to the massive population growth, job growth, and major companies like Intel, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Honda, and LG moving in and developing here, so you’re not just getting monthly income but long-term equity upside too, making it a solid mix of security and growth for a strategy focused on building wealth over time.

The development reinforces concerns that rate cuts may arrive later — and more cautiously — than previously assumed.

The City of San Jose has on their website that new addresses are required but separate meters are optional (link below).https://snapadu.com/blog/electric-panels-upgrades-power-sources-adu/https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/City-of-Oakland.PGE-Joint-Information-Bulletin-METERS-FINAL.pdfhttps://www.sanjoseca.gov/business/development-services-permit-center/accessory-dwelling-units-adus/adu-faqs

Build small units in small counts is very expensive residential development.
